XMI

XML Metadata InterchangeThe main purpose of XMI is to enable easy interchange of metadata between modeling tools (based on the OMG-UML) and metadata repositories (OMG-MOF based) in distributed heterogeneous environments. XMI integrates the three industry standards XML, UML and MOF. XMI supports the interchange of any kind of metadata that can be expressed using the MOF specification, including both model and metamodel information, whereas the encoding of metadata can consist of both complete models and model fragments, as well as tool-specific extension metadata.
